“Liam! They’re my mum’s favourites.” Emma jumped up and tried to snatch the family-sized bag from his hand. Too quick for her, Liam lifted his hand in the air, leaving her jumping to try and grab it.

“Liam. Give me the crisps,” she cried, giggling as he moved his hand further away and tickled her side. “No, Stop it. I want the crisps.”

“You do, do you?” He smirked and took a step back. “Is that all you want?”

My eyes widened and I nudged Zak. “He’s flirting with her,” I whispered.

“I know,” he whispered back. “He finally found his bollocks.”

Our heads craned forward as we watched Liam pull Emma to him with an arm around her waist. He then dipped his head and smacked a kiss against her smiling lips. Emma’s arm went around his neck, and Liam walked them backwards, out of the lounge, leaving Zak and I staring after them.

“Well.” Zak looked at me and grinned. “I knew he liked her, but I didn’t think he’d do anything about it.”

“You knew he liked her.” I poked at his hard stomach. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“He asked me not to tell anyone.” He shrugged.

“Yeah, but that doesn’t include me.”

He grinned before stealing a kiss. “Babe, I’m sorry but it does. In fact, he asked me especially not to tell you.”

“What?” I whipped my head around towards the door that Liam and Emma had disappeared through. “I’m practically family. How could he. How could you, Liam?” I yelled.

Zak laughed loudly and tugged on my hand, pulling me fully into his lap, so that I was straddling him. He was smiling broadly as his hands went to my bum, pulling me closer to the hard on already growing behind his jeans.

“You know,” he said, “this is a much better way of spending the morning than studying.”

I leaned in for a kiss, loving how our tongues slowly danced with each other. When he groaned against my mouth, I thrust my hips forward, and rocked against him, relishing in the feel of him against my core. Waves of pleasure were already starting to roll through my body as Zak’s hips met mine in a perfect rhythm.

“Fuck, Maddy, you’re so fucking perfect,” he moaned against my mouth, his fingertips digging into the denim covering my backside.

“I wish we could go somewhere,” I whispered, feeling everything build within me.

“We have to take care of Ana.” His hand moved to my boob and his thumb brushed over my nipple. “But maybe afterwards…” His words trailed off as he kissed me again.

The feelings I had for this boy were nothing short of intense. He was the sun who brightened my day, and the fire who warmed me from within. We had so many years ahead of us, so many things that we needed to do, yet already I wanted all of that with him. I couldn’t explain to anyone how he made me feel. What he made me want. I was afraid that people would laugh. That my friends would say I was stupid. That my dad would sayI was too young. Keeping it a secret was safer, because while it was, I could still believe in it happening.

“Hey,” Liam’s voice interrupted us ten minutes later. “Ana is still sleeping, so me and Em are going to go and get us something to eat.”

We looked over to see him standing in the doorway, his arm draped over my friend’s shoulder. She was grinning, looking relaxed and thoroughly satisfied.

“What did you do?” I gasped.

She cleared her throat before straightening her shirt. “Do you want anything?” she asked us.

Zak chuckled, kissed my forehead, and then lifted me from his lap. “I’ll go with you, mate. I think Mads has questions.” He stood up, furtively adjusting his jeans. “Chicken nuggets, babe?”

I nodded. “And chocolate milkshake.”

As the boys left, Emma sank down next to me, her grin a mile wide. “Fancy a two man?” she asked.

“You’re together then?” I asked, unable to hide the excitement it made me feel. My friend with my boyfriend’s friend. It was just perfect.

“I hope so,” she said, raising an eyebrow. “Seeing as he’s just had his hand in my knickers.”

We both burst out laughing, clinging together as we embraced the joy we were finding in life. We were so engrossed neither of us heard Ana enter the room until she spoke.

“Fucking great,” she snapped. “More smug couples to deal with.”
